I should have known better than to assume a little rain might dissuade the students at W&M from coming out to their beautiful Lake Matoaka Amphitheatre for our show Friday night.

During Sleeper Star's set (great band, nice guys), the deluge began. And it was Real rain. I mean, "I'm going to Rain on you now" kind of rain. So i started making the set list, last minute, in anticipation of a mass exodus from the great crowd that was out there. Stack the top of the set with a lot of energy songs, before everyone gets washed away.

Nope. Everyone stayed, and I was reminded that we were in the woods, on a lake, on a college campus in the musty, hot august rain of a back-to-school rock concert with a few thousand of your friends...why WOULD you leave? This is the good stuff, and it made for a great show. The air was thick, everyone looked like a drowned rat, and the air smelled like....do you know smell as you enter the cave for the Loch Ness Monster roller coaster at Busch Gardens? That's what it smelled like. Dark, wet n musty on Lake Matoaka.

I wish we could have filmed it. Luckily, Olivia Salyer from W&M caught some pix, so here's a few. More pix are at her flickr account. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ucab_wm/page2/

Thanks to everyone for coming out, and to AMP for all the help in keeping things rolling during the deluge...

On the way back from the last tour, Bu was driving us from Portland, ME and snapped an early morning picture of a graffitied tour bus passing the Leafmobile. Turns out it was the Jonas Brothers, though Bu couldn't tell which brother was driving..Nick? Finneous? Silas? we'll never know.....
